Some details
Tarmac is the UK’s largest supplier of construction materials – comprising aggregates, asphalt, cement, lime, concrete, read contracting, building products and recycling services.
The company operates from many locations around the UK and required an internal system that all staff could use, irrespective of their location, to propose business improvement opportunities, with a focus on
operational efficiency and cost-savings.For some years, Tarmac had been using a spreadsheet-based system, but this was cumbersome, as each proposal had to be circulated and signed off by multiple tiers of management. It was also very complicated and time-consuming to aggregate the data from the proposals to identify the overall cost savings for management reporting. Blueberry build a cloud-based system to replace the spreadsheets.
The software enables any member of staff to log in, enter details of their proposal with costed data and then pass it to line management and the finance department to validate and approve. A comprehensive set of dashboards and reports was also produced, including the ability to export data to Excel for further analysis.
